It is a brave new world now.
The path before me is alien and unknown. It outstretches before me like
an endless highway made from the fears I have built up through all these years.
I have no idea how to navigate this path with the most efficiency or in the
safest manner. I have no history yet written in my future, and therefore I can
only attempt to visualize, in vain, where I will end up. It is fear now that
rules this moment and if it was not for this flicker of hope that still,
somehow, rests inside me, I might just try to walk away; but I know that this
elusive path ahead can only be navigated by faith and determination, and fear
is simply the toll we must all pay.
I am unsure as to what trials I will have to overcome next, and what new
friends I will meet as I struggle through them? Or worse still, what enemies
might I be walking towards right now?
I have been resistant to change, and all the while change never slowed
its progression through my life. Change was and will always be a constant, and
in this world you cannot even hold onto a single breath for much longer than
needed. Every moment is foreign, every day is new, and every step has not been
made before.
I tried to stay awake long enough to reclaim what I know, but I fell
asleep and woke up misguided and misdirected; I awoke a stranger in less
familiar skin.
It is both unsettling and impressive how this world can twist the
reflection in the mirror; yet there is something exciting about this brave new
world, and what happens next is anyone's guess?
I will reclaim that faith and hope that others have come to need from me
in their dark times. I will stand like Danbox, before some things monolithic in
size, and I welcome them instead of showing them my fear.
I will learn more from his outlook, I will learn more from his desire to
challenge the differences, his will to stand with pride in the face of
adversity and alien things.
I will say hello to this brave new world, and I will work hard to choose
happiness over the dark passenger that walks alongside me.
“Hello brave new world”.
